Board Appointment

Founder of Argo Blockchain PLC and Koho Financial joins Visum to support the Company's expanded strategy

Visum Technology PLC (AQSE: VIS), is pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Bixby to its Board of Directors as a Non-Executive Director, effective immediately.

Jonathan brings more than two decades of operational, entrepreneurial, and capital-markets experience in technology infrastructure and digital assets. He was the founder of Argo Blockchain PLC, the first cryptocurrency mining company to list on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, where he led the Company through its initial public offering in August 2018, raising £25 million, and oversaw its subsequent growth to a peak market capitalisation of approximately £500 million. Prior to founding Argo, Jonathan founded Koho Financial, Canada's leading challenger bank that has over 2 million customers and has raised over $300M CAD.  Jonathan has exited multiple technology businesses across North America and the United Kingdom, with a focus on internet infrastructure, gaming technology, and FinTech.

Jonathan's combination of public-company leadership, deep capital-markets expertise, and a track record of building and scaling capital-intensive technology infrastructure businesses positions him to support Visum as the Company undertakes its strategic transition into modular edge artificial intelligence compute infrastructure for global enterprise and sovereign markets. The board envisions that Jonathan will provide valuable insight and leadership in the execution of these strategy transitions.

Barry Cushley, Chairman of Visum Technologies PLC, commented:

"I am delighted to welcome Jonathan Bixby to the Board of Visum. Jonathan has an exceptional track record of building Argo Blockchain into a major listed infrastructure business which is precisely the experience the Company needs. Bringing Jonathan onto the Board is a meaningful step in our mission to assemble a world-class team capable of delivering on this opportunity, and I look forward to drawing on his counsel as the Company moves through its exciting next phase."
